The IT Market in Morocco in 2026

Morocco's technological landscape in 2026 is marked by an unprecedented acceleration of digital transformation. Whether equipping a startup in Casablanca, renewing an administration's IT fleet, or supplying a retail business, importing computers to Morocco has become a strategic lever.

In 2026, Morocco stands out as a regional tech hub. Demand is no longer just for basic hardware but shifts towards high-performance workstations capable of supporting AI and Cloud Computing. However, between new ANRT regulations and fiscal adjustments, importers must navigate with precision.

🚀 Importing New Computers: Benefits & Taxation

Importing new hardware remains the gold standard for large corporations, offering international warranty and immediate compliance. In 2026, Morocco maintains an incentive policy.

Import Decisions

2.5%

Standard rate for laptops or desktops.

Free Trade Agreements

For EU origin (EUR.1) or USA (FTA).

VAT: 20% (standard rate).
Parafiscal Tax: 0.25%.

Unique Insight 2026:

Customs monitors "transaction value". For premium brands (Apple, Dell), be prepared to justify your invoices to avoid adjustments based on Customs Argus.

♻️ Refurbished: Opportunity or Risk?

The market exploded in 2026. For an SMB, "Grade A" saves up to 40%.

Strict Legal Framework

Morocco does not ban used imports but regulates them to avoid electronic waste.

Grade and Quality: Inspection certificate often required proving functionality.
Hardware Age: Obsolete hardware may be blocked for environmental non-compliance.
Distinction: At customs, "refurbished" must be declared as such, with a datasheet attesting to refurbishment.

📡 Administrative Procedures: ANRT & Certifications

A computer is also a radio transmitter. This is where many fail.

ANRT Approval (Wi-Fi 7 & Bluetooth 5.4)

Any radio equipment must be approved. In 2026, with widespread Wi-Fi 7, vigilance is increased.

Exemption: Possible if the exact model (e.g., HP EliteBook 840 G11) is already approved.
Test: Otherwise, sample submission is mandatory.
Risk: Prolonged seizure in customs without approval.

C-Mark (Cم)

Mandatory under Law 24-09. The Cم logo must appear on the CPU or power supply to attest to electrical safety compliance.

🧮 Calculating Landing Cost

Total Cost = (CIF_Value × (1 + Duty + TPI)) × (1 + VAT) + Logistics

CIF_Value: Value + Freight + Insurance

Duty: 2.5% (or 0%)

TPI: 0.25%

VAT: 20%

Example: 50 Laptops (Value 250,000 MAD, no FTA)

Import Duty (2.5%) 6,250 MAD
TPI (0.25%) 625 MAD
VAT (20% on taxed base) 51,375 MAD
Total Customs 58,250 MAD

✈️ Logistics: Watch out for Lithium Batteries

Transport is governed by "Dangerous Goods" (DG) regulations due to Lithium-Ion batteries.

Air Freight (UN3481)

Fast but strict. Battery limit per package. Labeling mandatory.

Physical Protection

Require "Double Wall" packaging and wrapped pallets against humidity and shocks.

Ad Valorem Insurance

Essential. The loss of a carton of laptops can be very costly.

✅ Quick Takeaways

Taxes: 2.5% (New) or 0% (with EUR.1 / FTA).
VAT: Always 20% (recoverable).
ANRT: No Wi-Fi approval = No entry. Check before buying.
Refurbished: Possible but requires clear invoices and functional hardware.
C-Mark: Mandatory compliance logo.
